Comments on the social network are quite mixed, suggesting that Musk's comments would be a joke. In any case, he plays his audience guessing the name of his hypothetical business. Suggestions are not long in coming. While some say the project should be dubbed "Chocolate Bitcoins," others think of "Moon Rocks." The relationship between crypto-currencies and its theoretical candy society is also studied by a Twitter user:

"My candy should be dropped from a space station. "

A frenzy on Twitter

The excitement on Twitter following the announcement of Musk is palpable. There were more than 100,000 likes on Saturday, May 5th. A few hours after the publication, the first tweet reached 157k of likes and 29k of retweets. Many people have inquired about possible hires and how to buy shares or tokens of the company.

Musk said earlier last week that Tesla's economic "ditches" were "lame," an assertion winking at Warren Buffet who used the same term to describe a company's competitive advantage. It seems that the candy business is derived from a discussion with Buffet.

Buffet responded to Musk at his annual meeting, Berkshire Hathaway, stating that ditches are still a viable idea, and that one can look at his candy case as a good example.

"So, I intend to build a ditch and fill it with candy," tweeted Musk in response. "Warren B will not be able to invest in it!
